Synopsis
Radioactive black rain after Hiroshima bombing continues killing survivors' descendants generations later.
Black rain, which contained plenty of radioactivity, poured into Hiroshima just after the bombing. The effects of the death ash extend to the second and third generations and still cast the shadow of death behind the living witnesses. (Source: Official Site)
